Aren't they both too tall for a bug?
You'll be more able to find a 185/70 than the 75 profile

I did have larger tyres on the back at one time
tyres were 205 ?? 15... on different rims..
My rear is still standard and is up high so would fit a larger tyre..
front is Ok with 165 80 15

try 205/70; that should be about the same as the sizes you've mentioned and it is a size that a tyre dealer should know
Michelin does a 205/70 in their XM2 range that I know of

My local Bob Jane managed to find me some odd size tyres. Nankang 145/80R15 they also had a range of 175 & 185 tyres available via special order.
What my garage isn't messy........Well chaos is a form of order isn't it?
